ChuckandClaude Opus 5.5 0d179fdf12 perf(display): throttle the per-frame update tick; check strips without building them (#731)
The frame loops and the dwell sleep run PluginManager.run_scheduled_updates() at most every 0.25 s instead of after every frame (the top of each loop pass still ticks unthrottled), and SportsScrollDisplay and the sync follower ask ScrollHelper.has_strip() instead of building cached_image just to see whether a strip exists.

ChuckandClaude Opus 5.5 0e78e06eb9 perf(sports): reuse an unchanged scroll strip at the start of a turn (#719)
A scoreboard in scroll mode no longer redraws every card at the start of a recent/upcoming turn whose games have not changed (~1.4 s for seven football cards at 192x48 on a Pi 4, with the render thread waiting). SportsScrollDisplayManager keeps one display per slate (game type + leagues; up to 4 per game type, at most 6 MB per plugin of strips not on screen) and rewinds the strip it built last time when its games, rankings, config, panel size and date are unchanged and it is under 10 minutes old. First turns, changed slates, live strips and empty turns are drawn as before; get_scroll_display() still answers with the strip on screen.

ChuckandClaude Opus 5.5 a12be7c3c5 feat(sports): live Vegas cards for the scoreboards (shared layer) (#698)
* perf(timing): say which render-thread work a late frame followed

The soak already says how often a moving frame reached the panel late, but
not what the render thread was doing just before it. Vegas does two kinds of
work there between frames -- building its strip (compose, extend) and, with
live elements, patching changed pixels into it -- and deciding whether either
is affordable needs their own numbers.

- FrameTimingRecorder.note_op(kind, nbytes) tags the next presented frame.
  Totals gain op_frames, late_op_frames, op_freezes and op_bytes per kind;
  aggregate() still takes frames without ops. The file schema is unchanged.
- Vegas tags compose and every strip extension (with the bytes it copied).
- frame_soak prints an "after work" table: frames, late %, freezes and MB
  moved per kind, only when something tagged its work.
- render_bench gains --strip-screens (Vegas-sized strips), --patch-bytes /
  --patch-every / --patch-where (in-place column writes, as a live element
  update does) and --extend-every-screens / --extend-width (append + trim on
  a fixed cadence that holds the strip's width).

No runtime behaviour changes: this is the measurement gate for live Vegas
elements.

* perf(scroll): build the strip's PIL image only when something reads it

Every Vegas strip extension rebuilt ScrollHelper.cached_image from
cached_array in full, twice (append, then trim), on the render thread:
Image.fromarray is 1.7ms for an 8,000px strip and 3.8ms for 20,000px on a
Pi 4 (measured on ledpi), about two thirds of an extension's render-thread
cost. Nothing on the frame path reads the image's pixels; every frame is cut
from the array.

cached_image is now a property. append_content and drop_scrolled_prefix
defer it; the first read builds it from the array it started with and keeps
it only if the strip has not changed meanwhile, so a sync push racing an
extension cannot leave a stale image cached. Assigning cached_image stores
exactly what was assigned, as before. has_strip() says whether there is a
strip without building its image; the helper's frame path, Vegas and the
adapter's scroll-cache invalidation use it. The strip is also no longer held
in memory twice.

In Vegas the image is now built only by a multi-display sync push.

* feat(vegas): live elements -- a plugin API for content that changes while it scrolls

Vegas bakes each plugin's pictures into one strip, so a card already on its
way across the panel keeps what it showed when it was drawn. This adds the
API and bookkeeping for content that can be updated in place; the worker
that redraws and swaps it follows separately. No shipped plugin implements
the hook yet, so nothing changes for users.

Plugin API (core 3.8.0), all no-ops by default:
- BasePlugin.get_vegas_elements() -> [VegasElement(key, image, version,
  live, refresh_hz)]: named, fixed-width pieces of Vegas content.
- BasePlugin.redraw_vegas_element(key, width, height, at): a lock-free
  redraw for content that changes with time.
- BasePlugin.notify_vegas_data_changed(): data that lands outside update().
- src/plugin_system/vegas_elements.py (VegasElement, re-exported from
  base_plugin).

Core:
- PluginAdapter asks a plugin that implements the hook for elements on the
  background fetch only (under its lock, on its own canvas); every other
  path keeps get_vegas_content(). Live elements are pinned (padded with
  content_padding, never trimmed), tagged with their key, digest and data
  epoch in Image.info so the existing cache and group plumbing carry them
  unchanged, and untagged if a width budget crops them.
- RenderPipeline records where each live element lands (ElementRecord), in
  absolute strip columns a trim does not move; the block-start arithmetic
  is shared with the STATIC markers.
- PluginManager update listeners (add/remove_update_listener,
  notify_data_changed): told the moment update() completes, not at the
  next ~4s Vegas poll. The coordinator uses one to move each plugin's data
  epoch on.
- vegas_scroll.live_refresh (kill switch), live_max_hz, live_min_interval,
  live_lead_screens; per-plugin core-owned vegas_live. Live elements are
  off under multi-display sync, in swap mode and with offscreen_prefetch off.
- scripts/check_plugin.py checks the element contract
  (src/plugin_system/testing/vegas.py); test/fixtures/plugins/vegas-live-stub
  is a working example.

* feat(vegas): live elements update in place while they scroll

One background worker (src/vegas_mode/live_worker.py) redraws a plugin's
live elements when its data epoch moves on (update listener) or on their
refresh_hz, nearest the screen first, and hands changed pixels lock-free to
the render thread, which copies them into the strip between frames
(RenderPipeline.apply_live_patches, ScrollHelper.patch_columns): at most
four patches or two screens of bytes a frame, no drawing or locks there.
The worker takes over group prefetch once a live element is placed, runs
inside the render gate, and is supervised. Update tick 1s while live
elements exist. Web UI switch for live_refresh. OFFSCREEN_RENDERING.md
describes what was built and why SegmentStrip was not needed.

* feat(sports): live Vegas cards for the scoreboards (shared layer)

One live element per game, drawn only when what the card shows changes, so
a score changes on a card already crossing the panel. The shared part, so
each scoreboard adopts it in a few lines:

- src/common/sports_vegas.py: game_key, game_fingerprint (the whole game
  dict, frozen: no drawn field can be missed), dedupe_games, VegasCardCache,
  StickyOdds (odds a live poll left out stay drawn), finished_games /
  with_finished_games (a game that just went final keeps its card, after its
  league's live games; one a heuristic only judged over keeps its live
  state, so a tied end of regulation never shows FINAL early).
- SportsScrollDisplay.make_vegas_renderer() is the override point;
  build_vegas_elements() and SportsScrollDisplayManager
  .get_vegas_elements_for() do the rest. A card's version includes its
  teams' ranks, which the renderer draws from the rankings cache.
- SportsLiveSharedMixin._record_finished_game() / finished_games_snapshot():
  held for FINISHED_GAME_TTL after it leaves the live list.

A sport that does not implement make_vegas_renderer keeps its ordinary Vegas
content, so no scoreboard changes until it opts in.

scripts/render_plugin.py --vegas renders a plugin's Vegas block as the
ticker lays it out, and --timeline stacks it at successive moments as
the ticker would update it in place; the join is now
render_pipeline.join_plugin_rows().

* refactor(sports): a default _determine_game_type on SportsScrollDisplay

render_vegas_card looked the method up with getattr and a None default, which
static analysis (Codacy) reports as calling something that may not be
callable. The base class now has the default -- the card type from the game's
state -- and the plugins that define their own override it as before.

* fix: review follow-ups on the shared live-card layer

- The reused Vegas renderer always gets the current rankings, empty
  included, so ranks cleared since are not kept drawn.
- render_plugin.py: --timeline refuses --no-live (a timeline shows live
  elements changing), --timeline/--no-live need --vegas, and the Vegas
  paths create the output's directory like the display path does.

ChuckandClaude Opus 5.5 7b90759252 fix: /errors stack traces, Wi-Fi disconnect and save, plugin fonts, API cache TTL (#636)
* fix(errors): record the exception's own stack trace

record_error() called traceback.format_exc(), which only sees an
exception while its except block is running. plugin_executor records
exceptions caught on a worker thread after that block has ended, so
every trace on /errors read "NoneType: None". The trace is now built
from the exception's __traceback__. The executor's log call had the
same problem with exc_info=True and now passes the exception.

record_error() also merged LEDMatrixError context into the caller's
dict in place; it now works on a copy.

* docs(wifi): point at configure_wifi_permissions.sh instead of a sudoers list

The module docstring told users to grant NOPASSWD sudo on iptables and
ip. configure_wifi_permissions.sh refuses those grants on purpose: a
wildcard rule for either runs an arbitrary program as root. Point at
the script and say why it leaves them out.

* fix(wifi): disconnect finds the saved profile by SSID

disconnect_from_network() asked `nmcli -f NAME,802-11-wireless.ssid
connection show` for the profile to take down, but nmcli rejects that
column for `connection show`, so the lookup always failed and only the
device was disconnected. The per-profile lookup _connect_nmcli() already
used is now _find_profile_for_ssid(), and both callers share it. It
also splits terse output on the last colon and unescapes "\:", so a
profile name containing a colon is found.

* fix(wifi): write wifi_config.json atomically and report a failed save

_save_config() opened the file for writing in place and swallowed any
error, so a wifi_config.json left owned by root made the web toggle for
auto-enabling AP mode report success while nothing was saved, and a
crash mid-write could truncate the file. It now uses atomic_write_json,
which also keeps the file's owner and shared group when root saves it,
and returns False on failure. POST /wifi/ap/auto-enable answers 500 in
that case.

The file is now written with indent=4, like the other config files.

* fix(fonts): resolve plugin:// fonts in the plugin's own directory

FontManager looked for a plugin's bundled fonts under Path("plugins") /
plugin_id: relative to the process cwd, and not the default install
directory (plugin-repos/), so a manifest's plugin:// fonts never loaded.

register_plugin_fonts() takes an optional plugin_dir, and PluginManager
passes the directory it loaded the plugin from. Callers that omit it get
a lookup in the configured plugin_system.plugins_directory, then plugins/,
resolved against the install root.

* fix(api-helper): cache responses for the requested cache_ttl

APIHelper.get(cache_ttl=...) and set_cache(ttl=...) dropped the ttl on
the claim that CacheManager does not support one, but CacheManager.set()
takes a ttl, stores it with the entry, and both cache tiers honour it
over a reader's max_age. Without it every response expired after the
300-second default read age, whatever the plugin asked for. The ttl is
now passed through, and the cache read passes cache_ttl as max_age for
entries written without one. The class docstring describes what the
helper actually does.

* fix(style): one scale range for the schema, element_scale and LogoHelper

The generated Scale field allowed 0.1 to 10, element_style's reader
capped at 10 with no floor, and LogoHelper accepted 0.05 to 8 and reset
anything else to 1.0. A logo scale of 9, which the form accepts, drew at
the shipped size.

MIN_ELEMENT_SCALE / MAX_ELEMENT_SCALE (0.1, 10.0) in src.element_style
are now the schema bounds and the clamp every reader applies through
coerce_scale(): a positive number outside the range is clamped, and
anything that is not a finite positive number means the default. That
also stops element_scale() passing NaN through, since min(nan, 10.0)
is nan.

* fix(logos): placeholder lands at the requested path; empty logos list

download_missing_logo() wrote its fallback placeholder to
<normalize_abbreviation(abbr)>.png in the logo directory rather than to
the logo_path the caller passed, so it could return True while nothing
existed where the plugin looks (e.g. "TA&M.png" vs "TAANDM.png").
create_placeholder_logo() takes an optional filepath, and
download_missing_logo passes the requested one.

download_missing_logo_for_team() only caught KeyError, so a team whose
"logos" list is empty raised IndexError; it now treats KeyError,
IndexError and TypeError as "no logo URL".

The placeholder is drawn with PLACEHOLDER_SIZE / PLACEHOLDER_BG, the
constants is_placeholder_logo() recognises it by, instead of repeated
literals.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(fonts): resolve bundled font paths against the install root

TextHelper's default font_dir, the logo placeholder's font and
FontManager's font_overrides.json were all relative to the process cwd,
so a process started anywhere but the install root (the plugin safety
harness, a manual run, a unit without WorkingDirectory) drew with PIL's
default face and read no overrides. They now go through
font_layout.resolve_asset_path; the overrides file sits in the install
root's config/.

The resolver docstrings described an order the code does not follow:
resolve_asset_path never consults the cwd, and sports_shared's
_resolve_font_path tries the cwd first. Both docstrings now say what
the code does, and _resolve_font_path calls resolve_asset_path instead
of probing FontManager for it.

* fix(sync): the web UI reads the sync status file the display writes

sync_manager writes its status to tempfile.gettempdir(), but
GET /api/v3/sync/status read a hardcoded /tmp/led_matrix_sync_status.json
and defaulted the port to a literal 5765. Wherever TMPDIR is set (or on
any non-/tmp host) the page only ever showed "starting". The endpoint now
uses sync_manager.STATUS_FILE and SYNC_PORT.

* fix(http): the rankings resolver sends the project's User-Agent

DynamicTeamResolver fetched ESPN rankings with a bare requests.get, so
it sent python-requests' default User-Agent, which ESPN rejects; the
AP_TOP_N favourites then resolved to nothing. It now sends
DEFAULT_HTTP_HEADERS. BaseOddsManager carried its own copy of the
User-Agent string and now uses the same shared headers (which also adds
Accept-Language).

* fix(backup): record the core release and read the configured plugin dir

The manifest's ledmatrix_version came from a VERSION file that does not
exist, then from .git/HEAD: a 12-character sha, or "ref: refs/he" when
the branch's ref was packed. It is now src.__version__.

list_installed_plugins() scanned a hardcoded plugin-repos/, so on an
install whose plugin_system.plugins_directory points elsewhere, plugins
missing from plugin_state.json were left out of the backup. It now reads
the configured directory from config/config.json, defaulting to
plugin-repos.

* fix(startup): report a missing display section once

A config without a display section produced three errors for the one
problem ("Missing required configuration key: display", "Display
configuration is missing or empty" and "Display configuration is
missing"), and an empty one produced two. _validate_config now reports
it once, as a missing key or an empty section, and
_validate_display_config leaves it to that.

The module docstring said the validator fails fast; nothing in the
display service calls raise_on_errors(), so it now says the errors are
reported and startup continues.

* refactor(wifi): share the copied blocks and name the AP constants

- _parse_nmcli_wifi_list() is the one parser behind _scan_nmcli and
  _scan_nmcli_cached.
- _verify_connected(), _wait_for_device_idle(), _failsafe_ap() and
  _mark_forced() replace blocks that were pasted two or three times in
  the connect and enable-AP paths. The device-idle wait now checks
  before its first one-second sleep instead of after it.
- _check_command() calls _find_command_path() instead of repeating it.
- AP_IP, PORTAL_PORT, AP_PROFILE_NAME and AP_PROFILE_NAMES name values
  that were spelled out 14, 12, 8 and 2 times; the two deletion loops
  now walk the same tuple. The iwconfig status path compares the AP
  address exactly: startswith() also skipped 192.168.4.10-19.
- Dropped a second WIFI.SIGNAL query that repeated the first, a no-op
  "if ssid: continue", the try/except around _connect_wpa_supplicant's
  constant return, and a second save of a scan scan_networks already
  saves.
- _ensure_wifi_radio_enabled's docstring says it returns True when the
  radio state cannot be read at all.

* refactor(config): drop dead branches and history comments in ConfigManager

- The module docstring pointed plugin authors at update_plugin_config(),
  which does not exist; it now names save_config_atomic() and
  save_raw_file_content().
- load_config's FileNotFoundError handler tested the message for
  "config_secrets.json", but a missing secrets file is handled where it
  is read, so only config.json reaches it; the check is gone.
- save_raw_file_content's `file_type == "main" or "secrets"` guard was
  always true (anything else raised earlier).
- get_raw_file_content('secrets') already returns {} for a missing file,
  so the os.path.exists() in front of two calls to it is gone.
- Comments that narrated earlier behaviour are rewritten as what the
  code does now.

* refactor(background-data): present-tense comments, drop unused API

- Comments that told the history of each fix (what "used to" happen,
  "the old per-delivery release") now state the invariant the code keeps.
- get_statistics() no longer reports a constant 'queue_size': 0, and the
  uncalled clear_completed_requests() is gone (_cleanup_completed_requests
  does that job on every completion). Neither is referenced in core, the
  web UI or the plugin monorepo.

shutdown_background_service() has no production caller either, but it
is the only way to tear down the get_background_service() singleton,
which the tests rely on, so it stays.

* refactor(odds): drop the unread cache_ttl and merge the odds_data branches

BaseOddsManager loaded base_odds_manager.cache_ttl from config and never
used it: cached odds live for the update interval (get_odds' ttl=interval).
No core or monorepo code reads the attribute, so it is gone along with
its log line. The two consecutive `if odds_data:` blocks are one.

* refactor(backup): one table for the single-file sections

config, secrets, wifi and ytm_auth were each spelled out in create,
preview, validate and restore. _SINGLE_FILE_SECTIONS lists them once,
with the RestoreOptions flag that restores each, and all four walk it.
Restore error messages keep their wording ("Failed to restore
<file name>").

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* refactor(fonts): drop FontManager's write-only state and duplicate logs

- fonts_config, font_metadata and font_dependencies were written and
  never read; the performance_stats keys font_load_times, render_times,
  total_renders and the per-call "resolve" timings
  (_record_performance_metric) likewise. get_performance_stats() reads
  only the counters that remain. Nothing in core or the plugin monorepo
  references any of them.
- A failed BDF load was logged twice, by _load_bdf_font and again by
  get_font; get_font's line is the one kept.
- Removed "NEW:" and commented-out cozette entries, the "Copy font to
  assets/fonts" comment on code that copies nothing, and local imports
  of names the module already imports. The deprecated add_font() now
  resolves assets/fonts against the install root.

The @deprecated methods stay.

* refactor(text-helper): cache loaded fonts; drop the pre-textlength fallback

TextHelper declared _font_cache, cleared it and reported its size, but
never stored anything in it. load_fonts() now keeps each (file, size)
it loads there, so clear_font_cache() and get_font_cache_stats() mean
what they say and repeated load_fonts() calls reuse the fonts.

get_text_width() no longer catches AttributeError for Pillow releases
without ImageDraw.textlength; requirements.txt pins Pillow>=12.2.
The class docstring describes what the helper does.

* docs(common): fix wrong docstrings in api_helper, permission_utils, snapshot_policy

- permission_utils called 0o2775 "sticky bit"; the 2 is setgid, which is
  what makes new files take the directory's group.
- snapshot_policy pointed at web_interface/blueprints/api_v3.py, which
  is a package now; the health check is in api_v3/misc.py.
- APIHelper.clear_cache() lost a history note and a fallback to a
  clear() method that neither CacheManager nor the testing
  MockCacheManager has. The session headers are built from
  DEFAULT_HTTP_HEADERS instead of a copy of them, and the module
  docstring says what the module offers.

* docs(sports): present-tense comments in the shared scoreboard renderers

- sports_scroll and sports_game_renderer comments that referred to "this
  PR", "the old flat 128px card" or what the renderer "previously" did
  now describe the current behaviour and its reason.
- The block explaining why non-finite settings are rejected sat above
  _score_reserve_width; it describes _center_gap_width and now lives in
  it.
- unshare_element_fonts wrapped its import of font_layout.load_truetype
  in an `except ImportError` that cannot fire inside core; the import
  stays at call time so tests can spy on the pinned loader.
- sports_card docstrings that told the history of a fix say what the
  code does.

* refactor(sports-shared): drop dead code, name the ESPN limit

- _get_weeks_data asked for limit=1000, which fetch_espn_scoreboard
  clamps to ESPN_MAX_LIMIT anyway; it now names that constant. Its
  unused `immediate_events = []` is gone.
- _get_season_schedule_dates() returned ("", "") and has no caller in
  core or the plugin monorepo.
- _should_log keeps its warning_type parameter (part of the inherited
  signature, though nothing in core or the monorepo calls it) and its
  docstring says the cooldown is shared across types.
- An unused ImageFont import is gone.

* refactor(sync): one follower-mode switch, shared panel defaults

- The class docstring said the leader sends PNG frames. Frames go over
  UDP as raw RGB; PNG is only the Vegas scroll image sent over TCP. It
  now describes both paths.
- _enter_follower_mode() replaces the two copies of "note the leader,
  switch from standalone to follower, log, write status" in the frame
  and scroll-position handlers.
- The rows/cols fallbacks use DEFAULT_ROWS / DEFAULT_COLS from
  src.display_geometry, as chain_length already did.

* refactor(style): drop _layout_axis, name the layout group title

- ElementStyleResolver._layout_axis() had no caller in core or the
  plugin monorepo.
- _element_block_from_spec checked spec['size'] was a dict again after
  size_spec already had; it reads size_spec.
- The "Layout Offsets" title written into three generated schema blocks
  is _LAYOUT_TITLE.

* docs(logo-helper): say what the placeholder draws; name the 1.5 box factor

- _create_placeholder_logo's docstring said it draws the team
  abbreviation; it draws an outlined grey box and nothing else. The
  docstring says so, and the "in a real implementation you'd want text"
  comments are gone.
- The 1.5 x panel default logo box, written out six times, is
  DEFAULT_LOGO_BOX_FACTOR.
- ImageDraw is imported with Image at the top of the module.

* refactor(logos): drop dead code and a duplicate regex in logo_downloader

- _SAFE_LEAGUE_CODE_RE was the same pattern as _SAFE_LEAGUE_RE; both
  checks use the one.
- get_logo_filename_variations reassigned the TA&M case to the list it
  already had; the function returns the two names directly.
- _get_team_name_variations() had no caller in core or the plugin
  monorepo.
- fetch_single_team's docstring was copied from fetch_teams_data; a log
  message read "for{team_id}".

* refactor: drop the Pillow<9.1 resample shim and a catch-and-reraise

- adaptive_images fell back to Image.LANCZOS/NEAREST for Pillow < 9.1;
  requirements.txt pins Pillow>=12.2. RESAMPLE_LANCZOS and
  RESAMPLE_NEAREST keep their names (src.common re-exports them).
- CacheManager.save_cache caught CacheError only to re-raise it; the
  disk write is now called directly, with the same result.

* test(api-helper): stop the real CacheManager's cleanup thread

The cache-lifetime tests built a CacheManager and left its cleanup

test_cache_cleanup_thread_ownership when it ran later in the session.
The fixture now stops the thread on teardown.

ChuckandClaude Opus 5 116abb0daa fix: September 16 core audit — partial saves, asset path safety, auto-update, display settings the library refuses, scroll speed (#595)
* fix(sports): share the ESPN rejected-range memo with the background service

BackgroundDataService always sent a season range first and, on a 400,
fell back to chunks without recording the rejection, so every background
season fetch spent a doomed request and live scoreboards learned nothing
from it (or it from them). The worker now consults and sets the same
6-hour memo fetch_espn_scoreboard() uses: a known rejection goes straight
to month/day chunks, and if every chunk fails the range is asked once for
a real error without re-spending the chunks.

* fix(web): keep plugin asset and action routes inside their directories

POST /plugins/assets/upload, GET /plugins/assets/list and POST
/plugins/assets/delete joined the request's plugin_id onto assets/plugins
unchecked, so '../../config' created, wrote, listed and deleted outside
it. #561 guarded only the route that serves the files. All three now go
through path_safety.resolve_under and answer 400 for anything but a
plain name, and delete only unlinks a metadata path that resolves into
that plugin's uploads directory.

PluginManager.get_plugin_directory refuses ids that are not one plain
path segment, so /plugins/action (which runs a manifest script from the
returned directory) and every other caller get the guard; the action
route also rejects such ids up front, covering its no-manager fallback.

* fix(web): report a no-op plugin update as already up to date

update_plugin() returns True both for a real update and for "nothing to
do" (a ZIP-installed monorepo plugin already at the registry version, a
bundled plugin). With no git commit to compare, POST /plugins/update
called every such success "updated successfully", so Check & Update All
counted most official plugins as updated on every run.

The route now reads what changed off the plugin itself (commit, else
manifest version, else last_updated) and returns data.update_status
(updated / up_to_date / local_only). The update-all toast is summarised
by PluginInstallManager.summarizeUpdateResults from that status, falling
back to the message for older servers.

* fix(sports): scoreboard scroll speed no longer follows target_fps

sports_scroll computed the crisp speed ladder against the global
target_fps whenever limit_refresh_rate_hz was the 100 Hz default. Since
frame-locked presentation (#545) the helper steps a fixed number of whole
pixels per presented frame and the panel presents at its real refresh, so
the General tab's "Scroll Frame Rate" became a speed multiplier: 60 ran a
50 px/s scoreboard at 100 px/s, 200 ran it at 25 px/s.

The ladder now uses the display manager's refresh_hz, then
display.hardware.limit_refresh_rate_hz, then the default. target_fps is
not consulted. Docstrings now say scroll_delay is ignored for pacing (no
behaviour change there) and describe the fixed-step model.

Tests: replace the tests that pinned target_fps as the ladder refresh and
described time-based stepping; assert speed independence from target_fps
(unit and end-to-end presented px/s against the real helper), that the
fixed per-frame step is applied, and that scroll_delay does not change
speed.

* fix(web): escape registry and upload values in plugin manager inline handlers

The store, saved-repository and custom-registry buttons built
onclick='...(${JSON.stringify(id)})...'. JSON.stringify leaves ' alone,
so a custom registry entry whose id contained ' closed the attribute and
added its own handler. One helper, jsStringAttr(), now HTML-escapes the
JSON literal for every one of those handlers, and the store View button
opens only http(s) repo links.

The live window.updateImageList (plugins_manager.js loads last, so its
copy wins over the file-upload widget's) wrote the uploaded file's
original name, path and ids into markup raw; they are escaped now.

* fix(update): let the root pip wrapper install web_interface/requirements.txt

Update Code, the automatic update's health check and Install Base
Requirements install web_interface/requirements.txt through
safe_pip_install.sh, which only allowed the root requirements.txt. The
first commit changing that file would fail its dependency install, and
the automatic updater rolls back any update whose dependencies did not
install -- on every device, for every newer commit.

The wrapper now lists both core requirement files. Only their folders
are resolved, so a requirements.txt symlinked out of the project is
compared by its target and refused (previously the root file's own
symlink target was what got allowed). The updater's file list is a
named constant, and a test runs the real wrapper (pip stubbed) on
every file Update Code and the rollback install.

* fix(web): do not retry plugin requests that got an HTTP answer

PluginAPI.request wrapped everything that was not a structured error as
NETWORK_ERROR: a proxy's 502 HTML page (response.json() throws) and a
JSON error without error_code included. Check & Update All retries
NETWORK_ERROR, so those updates were re-sent five more times with
backoff, contrary to the #587 contract that an HTTP error response is
the server's answer.

NETWORK_ERROR now means only that fetch() rejected. Any HTTP response
without an error_code, or with a body that is not JSON, is API_ERROR
with the HTTP status attached. Tested against the shipped api_client.js.

* fix(scroll): restart the stats window when an idle gap is dropped by size

#582 dropped an idle gap from the frame stats two ways: the reset_scroll()
sentinel, which also restarts the 5s window timer, and a size guard for
scrollers that never call reset_scroll(), which did not. On that path the
first real frame after the gap found the boundary overdue and logged a
stats line for a one-frame window. Both paths now share one seeding helper.

* fix(update): leave plugins alone when update_core's own rollback fails

update_core returns rollback_failed directly when a partial pull or an
update whose health check never started cannot be rolled back. run()
only held plugins back for 'verifying', so those devices still got new
plugin versions and a display restart on top of a core in an unknown
state -- the opposite of what the health-check path does, and of the
3.4.0 changelog (plugins are left alone if the rollback fails).

* docs(api): make the REST reference match the api_v3 package

Every documented request body, query parameter and response shape was
re-checked against the handlers in web_interface/blueprints/api_v3/.
Fixes calls that failed as documented (repo_url, action_id/params,
files/image_id, font_file+font_family, ?font=, cache key,
auto_enable_ap_mode, plugin limit keys), removes the font-override
endpoints dropped in #566, corrects response shapes (plugins/config,
plugins/schema, health, metrics, operation history, github-status,
fonts/catalog, cache/list, logs, wifi, on-demand, SSE streams), and adds
the 26 routes it omitted (backup, system auto-update/git, wifi radio,
starlark editor, MQTT bridge, status endpoints, skins).

Documents the merge semantics of partial JSON saves to /config/main and
/plugins/config and the dim-schedule POST accepting GET's days shape,
which land in the same change set. Replaces app.py line numbers and the
removed api_v3.py path with file and function names.

* fix(web): remove the General-tab plugin system toggles that did nothing

plugin_system.auto_discover, auto_load_enabled and development_mode had
General-tab toggles whose help tips promised dormant plugins and verbose
logging, but nothing reads them: every enabled plugin is discovered and
loaded regardless. Remove the three toggles.

The keys stay tolerated in stored configs. The save handler now stores
a flag only when a client sends it; treating a missing key as an
unchecked box would otherwise rewrite all three to false on every
General-tab save, which still posts plugins_directory.

* refactor(scroll): remove dead code left by #523/#570

- Drop the optional scipy.ndimage import and HAS_SCIPY; nothing read
  them since the numpy blend replaced the scipy path.
- Drop ScrollHelper._last_integer_position and frame_time_target, which
  were written but never read.
- Keep target_fps and set_target_fps() but document them as
  informational: nothing paces off them, yet ledmatrix-elections'
  test_scroll_pacing.py reads helper.target_fps back and third-party
  plugins may call the setter.
- Fix stale comments: fixed_pixels_per_frame's "use scroll_delay to
  throttle", set_sub_pixel_scrolling's "default: True", and
  set_frame_based_scrolling's claim that it steps.

The plugins monorepo was grepped for every removed name; none is used.

* docs(fonts): point plugins at plugin_manager.font_manager; drop removed overrides UI

FONT_MANAGER.md told plugins to read display_manager.font_manager, which
does not exist, so a plugin following it failed to load with
AttributeError. The shared FontManager lives on the PluginManager and
BasePlugin._get_font_manager() returns it (with a fallback for harnesses).

Also removes the Fonts-tab override workflow and element-override panels
that #566 deleted, from FONT_MANAGER.md and WEB_INTERFACE_GUIDE.md.

* fix(config): use the shared core-key list in the last three private copies

StartupValidator warned "Plugin 'auto_update' is enabled but not found" on
every display start with auto-update or a dim schedule on; the reserved
plugin-id check missed auto_update, sync, location and the rest; and
ConfigManager's (uncalled) orphan cleanup would have deleted display,
schedule and auto_update. All three now read src/core_config_keys.py, which
also gains CORE_SECRETS_KEYS for the github/youtube secrets sections.

* fix(web): partial JSON saves to /config/main change only what they send

A JSON body with one field reset every checkbox in the sections it touched:
the MQTT bridge's brightness slider turned off disable_hardware_pulsing,
inverse_colors, show_refresh_rate and use_short_date_format, and a
timezone-only save turned off web-UI autostart and weekly auto-updates.
Missing-means-unchecked now applies only to form posts: form-encoded bodies
and the v3 forms, which mark themselves with a hidden __form_section input.

Also on the config routes:
- vegas_min/max_cycle_duration no longer match the generic *_duration rule,
  so they stop landing in display_durations and a blank one no longer
  rejects the whole Display save;
- saving from the Raw JSON editor calls start_setup_if_needed like the
  General form, so enabling auto-update there finishes its setup;
- the schedule and dim-schedule POSTs accept the per-day days.<day> shape
  their GETs return, as well as the flat form keys.

* fix(scripts): install plugin dependencies from the configured plugins directory

install_plugin_dependencies.sh scanned only plugins/, but the Plugin
Store installs into plugin_system.plugins_directory (default
plugin-repos), so the documented "Recommended" fix found 0 plugins on
every store install. It now reads plugins_directory from
config/config.json (relative to the project root or absolute, default
plugin-repos) and also scans plugins/ for dev symlinks, installing a
plugin reached through both only once.

With set -e alone, `pip ... | tee` took tee's exit status, so a failed
pip install was reported as success; set -o pipefail.

* docs: replace stale API names, line numbers and the api_v3.py path

- ADVANCED_FEATURES: StreamManager methods that exist
  (get_next_segment, take_next_group, refresh, advance_cycle, ...), and the
  real on-demand status envelope ({status, data: {state, service}})
- app.py:199 / :144 / :607-619 line citations and
  web_interface/blueprints/api_v3.py (now a package) replaced with file and
  function names in ADVANCED_FEATURES, CONFIG_DEBUGGING,
  PLUGIN_ARCHITECTURE_SPEC, PLUGIN_QUICK_REFERENCE,
  PLUGIN_CONFIGURATION_TABS, TROUBLESHOOTING and web_interface/README
- CONFIG_DEBUGGING: partial /config/main saves change only sent keys; use
  /config/raw/main to replace the file; describe where validation runs

  usage)

* fix(scripts): verify the web interface that actually ships, on port 5000

verify_installation.sh failed every healthy install: it required the
long-removed web_interface_v2.py and looked for a listener on port 5001,
while the web interface binds 5000 (web_interface/start.py). It now
checks the files ledmatrix-web.service runs (start_web_conditionally.py,
web_interface/start.py, app.py) and port 5000. verify_web_ui.sh had the
same 5001 port in its listen check, HTTP probe and printed URLs.

Port matches are anchored so :50001 no longer counts as :5000.

* docs(plugins): one display-size contract: display_manager.width/height

CLAUDE.md (#580) says to read display_manager.width/height because
matrix is None when hardware init fails; the development guide, the
safety-harness doc and two DisplayManager docstrings still recommended
matrix.width/height. The bundled starlark-apps plugin read matrix.width
unguarded, so its magnify recommendation and frame scaling raised in
fallback mode (e.g. after the Pi 5 hardware refusal).

* fix(install): make install_service.sh --help print usage instead of installing

install_service.sh parsed no arguments, so `sudo ./scripts/install/
install_service.sh --help` (presented as harmless in MIGRATION_GUIDE.md)
rewrote ledmatrix.service, ledmatrix-web.service and both update-verify
units and enabled/started them. It now handles -h/--help (usage, exit 0,
no changes) and rejects any other argument with exit 2 before doing
anything. Running it with no arguments, as first_time_install.sh does,
is unchanged.

* docs(scroll): describe the fixed-step model and document frame_hold

Since #545 a crisp speed from scroll_config.configure() makes the helper
advance a fixed whole-pixel step per presented frame with no clock, and the
display manager's frame hold is part of the speed. The docs still described
the removed wall-clock model:

- scroll_config's module and configure() docstrings said speed is applied
  in time-based mode and that omitting the hold "falls back to fractional
  pixels"; omitting it actually runs the scroll frame_hold times too fast.
- SCROLL_PERFORMANCE.md said ScrollHelper accumulates elapsed time in both
  modes, and read a 20 ms stats median as missed refreshes although that
  is a healthy 50 px/s (hold 2) scroll. It now explains the fixed step,
  the hold-dependent healthy median, that target_fps plays no part, and
  that a hand-added scroll_pixels_per_second loses to a schema-default pair.
- PLUGIN_API_REFERENCE.md documented set_scrolling_state(is_scrolling)
  without frame_hold; it now documents the parameter (core 3.4.0) with a
  configure() + set_scrolling_state example.
- update_scroll_position/set_scroll_speed and set_scrolling_state
  docstrings say the same.

* docs(config): mark target_fps legacy; describe what Vegas scroll_delay does

- General tab "Scroll Frame Rate" (target_fps) is labelled legacy: after
  the sports_scroll fix nothing in core scrolling reads it. The field and
  its API validation stay so saved configs and plugins that read
  global_config['target_fps'] keep working. CONFIG_REFERENCE says the same.
- Vegas frame_based_scrolling/scroll_delay were described as frame-count
  stepping at ~50 FPS. Neither steps nor sets a frame rate: frame-based
  mode converts the speed to px per scroll_delay, clamps it to 0.1-5, and
  still advances by elapsed time, so the applied speed is
  clamp(scroll_speed * scroll_delay, 0.1, 5) / scroll_delay px/s. The
  config comments, render_pipeline comment and CONFIG_REFERENCE rows now
  say so. No behaviour change.

* docs(deps): describe how plugin dependencies are really installed

The guides said the web service runs as root, that installs pick --user
from os.geteuid(), and quoted a warning and a
PluginManager._install_plugin_dependencies() method that don't exist. The
web unit runs as the installing user; store installs go through
install_requirements_file() and sudo safe_pip_install.sh (root), with a
user-level fallback that says so, and load-time installs run in the
display service's own (root) interpreter.

Manual paths now use the configured plugins directory (plugin-repos/ by
default) instead of plugins/, which store installs no longer use, and
install_plugin_dependencies.sh is described as scanning that directory.

* fix(update): count local changes one way for the preflight and the pull

The automatic update's preflight ignored mode-only changes and anything
whose status line contained plugins/ or plugin-repos/, then promised
"Automatic updates will not stash your changes". perform_core_update
used plain git status (modes count) and ignored only 'plugins/', then
ran 'git stash push -- :!plugins', which nothing ever pops. So an edit
to a bundled plugin under plugin-repos/, or the installer's chmods on
tracked scripts, passed the preflight and was stashed away for good.

- auto_update.local_changes() is the one predicate both use:
  core.fileMode=false, porcelain -z, and plugins/ and plugin-repos/
  excluded by leading folder rather than substring (a core file under
  web_interface/static/v3/js/plugins/ now counts).
- Update Code's explicit stash leaves out both plugin folders; the
  pull's --autostash carries their edits and mode changes across and
  reapplies them.
- The automatic updater calls perform_core_update(stash_local_changes=
  False), which refuses instead of stashing edits that appeared after
  the preflight; update_core reports that as 'blocked'.

* fix(scripts): diagnostics follow the web autostart default and api_v3 package

#556 made a missing web_display_autostart mean "start" (only an explicit
false/off keeps the web interface down), but the diagnostics still said
otherwise: diagnose_web_ui.sh reported a missing key as "defaults to
false", diagnose_web_interface.sh said the web interface "will not start
unless this is set to true" and recommended enabling it, and
debug_web_manual.py printed False. Troubleshooting a down web UI pointed
users at a non-cause.

Both shell scripts now evaluate the setting with the launcher's own
autostart_enabled() (inline fallback if it cannot be imported) and report
on / off / not set (on) / unparseable config; debug_web_manual.py uses
the same function. They also check web_interface/blueprints/api_v3/
__init__.py: api_v3.py became a package in #553, so every healthy
checkout was reported as missing a file.

README.md). MIGRATION_GUIDE presented 'sudo install_service.sh --help'

* fix(display): size the preview after orientation and pixel mappers

display_geometry.physical_size claimed to give DisplayManager's answer but
only computed cols*chain x rows*parallel. RGBMatrix.width/height are measured
after the library's pixel mappers, so a Rotate:90 / orientation 90 chain
previewed 128x32 for a 32x128 panel and a U-mapper chain of four 256x32 for
128x64.

Model the built-in mappers' size effect as the pinned lib/pixel-mapper.cc
does (Rotate, U-mapper, V-mapper, StackToRow, Remap; Mirror and unknown
names leave it alone), and move the orientation composition here so
DisplayManager and the preview share it. The module docstring no longer
claims the sync handshake uses it; that imports only DEFAULT_CHAIN_LENGTH.

Audit finding F18.

* fix(display): refuse settings the rgbmatrix library aborts on, on every board

The library answers several settings with a NULL matrix or abort() rather
than an error, so the display service crash-looped (Restart=on-failure)
instead of reaching fallback mode: rows above 64, chain_length above 255
(uint8_t binding setter, documented as "no upper limit"), a misspelled
hardware_mapping, and parallel 2-3 on a single-output mapping, reachable
from the Display form on the default adafruit-hat(-pwm) mapping. #586 only
guarded the Pi 5 subset.

- src/matrix_support.py holds the rules for every board (Options::Validate
  ranges, binding integer types, mapping names and outputs from
  lib/hardware-mapping.c) plus the Pi 5 ones, and is the one source of the
  API's numeric ranges.
- DisplayManager checks them before building options and raises
  MatrixSettingsRefused, so a hand-edited config falls back with a logged,
  reported reason. Emulator mode only warns.
- The config API refuses them with a 400 naming the setting; combinations
  are checked against stored values but reported only when the request
  sets a field involved.
- The hardware status file gains "cause" (settings/library/forced). The
  fallback log and Display banner give the Pi 5 rebuild hint only for a
  library failure instead of rebuild + gpio_slowdown advice for every
  failure; one Pi 5 slowdown recommendation (1-3, start at 1).
- The Display form offers classic/classic-pi1 and orientation 90/270 and
  renders any other stored mapping selected with a warning, so an
  unrelated save no longer rewrites them; the API accepts 90/270.

- rows 8-64, chain_length 1-255, parallel limited by the mapping's outputs,
  classic/classic-pi1 mappings and orientation 90/270 documented.
- Defaults are the config.template.json values: config migration adds
  missing keys from the template, so the listed "code defaults" never
  applied.
- One Raspberry Pi 5 gpio_slowdown recommendation: 1-3 in PIO mode,
  starting at 1.
- Troubleshooting describes the refused-settings fallback, and CHANGELOG
  corrects the Unreleased "no upper limit" entry.

* fix(scripts): scroll_speeds.py opens the panel with the service's options

--measure and --demo built RGBMatrixOptions from a private copy of the
display service's builder that had drifted: gpio_slowdown came from
display.hardware (default 2) instead of display.runtime (default 3), and
rp1_rio, panel_type, disable_hardware_pulsing, inverse_colors,
pixel_mapper_config and orientation were skipped, with different defaults
(hardware_mapping "regular", pwm_bits 11). A panel needing a high slowdown
was measured -- or garbled -- in a setup the service never drives.

The option filling in DisplayManager._setup_matrix moves, unchanged, into
DisplayManager.apply_matrix_options(options, config), which _setup_matrix
calls and the script reuses (overriding only limit_refresh_rate_hz for
--measure). The script now loads the whole config rather than the hardware
block. Tests pin the script's options to the service's attribute for
attribute.

* fix(scripts): scroll_speeds.py recommends keys the resolver honours

The ladder ended by telling users to set
display_options.scroll_pixels_per_second. scroll_config ranks that key
below the scroll_speed + scroll_delay pair, deliberately, and several
plugin schemas default the pair into config, so the advised key was
silently ignored (a schema-default 1/0.02 pair plus an advised 66 still
resolved to 50 px/s).

The advice is now the pair that selects the crisp speed exactly
(pixels_per_frame every frame_hold/refresh seconds), explains that the
pair outranks scroll_pixels_per_second, and gives the scoreboards'
per-league scroll_settings.scroll_speed (px/s) form. Tests resolve the
printed pair over a schema-default pair and check it lands on the
advertised speed and hold.

- SPORTS_UNIFICATION.md still presented honouring global target_fps as
  sports_scroll's added behaviour and its one user-visible gain; note that

- ADVANCED_FEATURES.md gave Vegas scrolling as
  (scroll_speed / target_fps) * elapsed; the real rule is scroll_speed px/s
  by elapsed time, through a 0.1-5 px per scroll_delay clamp when
  frame_based_scrolling is on.

* fix(dev): link-github links plugins from the ledmatrix-plugins monorepo

link-github <name> cloned https://github.com/ChuckBuilds/ledmatrix-<name>.git,
and those per-plugin repositories no longer exist: official plugins are
directories in the ledmatrix-plugins monorepo. It now clones (or pulls) the
monorepo once into the dev directory, finds plugins/<name>,
plugins/ledmatrix-<name> or the plugin whose manifest id is <name>, and
links it under its manifest id. With an explicit repo URL it still links a
single-repository plugin as before.

dev_plugins.json: github_user is honoured again (monorepo owner, e.g. a
fork), plus plugins_repo and plugins_branch; github_pattern, which was
documented but never read, is dropped and warned about. Ships
dev_plugins.json.example and git-ignores dev_plugins.json, both of which
the guide promised. Reading JSON falls back to python3 when jq is missing
(get_plugin_id silently returned nothing without jq).

update/status/list find the git checkout above a monorepo plugin
directory (its .git is not in the plugin dir), and update pulls a shared
checkout once. status no longer exits 1 when nothing is broken.

Docs: PLUGIN_DEVELOPMENT_GUIDE (quick start, link-github, configuration,
workflow, store integration, hello-world link, submission), and the
nonexistent scripts/git-hooks/pre-push-plugin-version and
scripts/bump_plugin_version.py replaced with the real rule: bump the
manifest version and run update_registry.py. scripts/dev/README.md and

scripts/fix_perms/README.md listed cache directories
fix_cache_permissions.sh never touches and a 'ledmatrix' service user
that doesn't exist (also in scripts/install/README.md); adds

* fix(update): keep the rollback's pip retries inside the unit time limit

The health check reinstalled the previous requirements by trying the
next bash path after any failure, including a 600 s pip timeout. Two
files, two paths: up to 40 minutes of pip alone, while systemd stops
ledmatrix-update-verify.service at TimeoutStartSec=30min -- killing the
rollback half-way and leaving the update 'verifying' until the web UI
calls it lost.

- Like permission_utils.install_requirements_file, only a sudo refusal
  moves on to the next bash; a pip that ran and failed or timed out is
  not repeated. The refusal wording is one list
  (permission_utils.SUDO_REFUSAL_PHRASES), mirrored in the stdlib-only
  verifier and pinned equal by a test.
- All reinstalls in one rollback share a 600 s budget.
- WORST_CASE_SECONDS adds up every timeout on the longest path (27.5
  min); a test holds it under the unit's TimeoutStartSec and that under
  the web UI's VERIFY_LOST_SECONDS.

* fix(plugins): prepare plugin configs one way for load, saves, GET, hot reload and dev tools

Plugin config was prepared differently depending on how it arrived:

- JSON POST /plugins/config built a partial body on schema defaults, so
  {"enabled": true} reset every other setting of the plugin. It now merges
  onto the stored section first, as the form path already did.
- Legacy-boolean normalization (#588) ran only at load: GET /plugins/config
  returned the raw boolean, posting it back failed validation, and hot
  reload handed plugins the raw section (a legacy dynamic_duration: true
  came back as a boolean). schema_manager.prepare_plugin_config (normalize,
  then defaults) is now used by PluginManager.load_plugin, both save paths,
  GET, the save notifications and DisplayController's hot-reload callback.
- The JSON save's filter kept only enabled/display_duration/live_priority
  and dropped a submitted skin, skin_options or vegas_* tuning key. There
  is now one core-owned per-plugin list, schema_manager.CORE_PLUGIN_PROPERTIES,
  used by validation and by the save filter; PluginManager's
  CORE_OWNED_CONFIG_KEYS is its vegas subset.
- Plugin sections posted to /config/main were stored verbatim, including
  values /plugins/config rejects. They now go through the same preparation
  (_prepare_plugin_config_for_save, extracted from save_plugin_config), and
  a failing section rejects the whole save before anything is written.
- dev_server read only top-level defaults and let a schema enabled:false
  win; build_full_config shallow-merged overrides, dropping sibling
  defaults; the harness extracted defaults differently from the device.
  loading.build_config now uses the device's extraction and preparation,
  and dev_server, check_plugin, render_plugin and the harness all use it.

installer_chmod saw no mode change left to check. The updater was fine:
with the upstream commit at 100755 the --autostash carries the device's

exactly as CI did, the fixed one passes all 63 tests in the file.

ChuckandClaude Opus 5 f8e2e89edc refactor(sports): put the scoreboards on the shared scroll resolver (#542)
* refactor(sports): put the scoreboards on the shared scroll resolver

Eight sports scoreboards -- afl, baseball, basketball, football, hockey,
lacrosse, nrl, soccer -- scrolled through this module's own pacing while the
other eleven scrolling plugins went through src/common/scroll_config. Two
implementations of the same job, and this one was on the losing side of every
difference.

It never called set_scrolling_state. Two consequences, both of which this
release's work was about:

- The frame hold is applied through that call, so a speed the crisp ladder
  could render in whole pixels still presented a new frame every refresh.
- Core only runs deferred updates while nothing is scrolling. Believing
  nothing was, it ran blocking work in the middle of these scrolls.

The default is non-crisp today: scroll_speed 50.0 with scroll_delay 0.01 is
50 px/s, which on a 100Hz panel is half a pixel per refresh. That cannot
render as motion -- it alternates 0px and 1px steps and judders at a 50Hz
beat, on every scoreboard, out of the box. Resolved through the ladder it
stays 50 px/s and holds each frame for two refreshes: same speed, whole-pixel
motion.

The stepping disagreement that used to justify a separate module is gone.
scroll_config avoided frame-based mode because it stepped on a wall clock at
1/scroll_delay with scroll_delay set to the frame period, so the decision sat
on its own threshold and flipped on sub-millisecond jitter. That branch now
accumulates elapsed time, identical arithmetic to the time-based one, so the
two differ only in the units the speed arrives in.

What is NOT shared, and must not be: the two modules read identically-named
keys with different meanings. Here scroll_speed is px/SECOND and scroll_delay
only converts to px/frame; in scroll_config scroll_speed is px per STEP, so
px/s is speed/delay. Passing this module's settings dict to the resolver turns
50 px/s into 5000, clamped to 500 -- a tenfold speed-up everywhere. So
_get_scroll_settings keeps sole ownership of reading sports config, including
the league merging, and hands the resolver a plain px/s. A test pins that
specific number, because it is the mistake the refactor invites.

MIN/MAX_PIXELS_PER_FRAME are gone; the resolver bounds speed and the helper
clamps FPS. _resolve_target_fps stays, re-purposed: under the old model that
key was the rate frames were presented at, so it is the faithful translation
into the refresh the ladder is computed against, used when no hardware
refresh is configured.

Speed changes for panels that are not 100Hz: 50 px/s becomes 60 at 60Hz
(+20%) and 48 at 120Hz (-4%). At 100Hz it is unchanged.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(display): drop the frame hold when a scroll times out, not just when it says so

set_scrolling_state(False) clears the hold. The other way a scroll ends is
is_currently_scrolling() deciding, after scroll_inactivity_threshold of
silence, that it is over -- which is what happens when the rotation moves on
mid-scroll or a plugin is torn down. That path cleared the flag and kept the
hold, so every later plugin, scrolling or static, was presented at refresh/N
by whoever scrolled last, until something called the explicit stop.

The method's own docstring already states the rule this breaks: the hold "must
not outlive the scroll that asked for it". The timeout was the exception it
did not cover.

Pre-existing, but reachable by three plugins before and eleven after the
sports scoreboards moved onto the shared resolver, so it belongs with that
change. The test ages the activity timestamp past the threshold rather than
sleeping.

Also adds scripts/sports_scroll_check.py. The sports scroll path is per-league
opt-in, so a rig showing static game cards never constructs a
SportsScrollDisplay and none of its pacing can be observed from a normal run
-- which is exactly what happened when this change was first put on hardware:
26 minutes, zero sports scroll lines. The script drives the path directly with
synthetic games and asserts the three things the resolver is meant to buy: the
speed lands on whole pixels, the hold is published, and it is released after.
It never starts or stops the display service, matching scroll_speeds.py, so a
crash here cannot leave the panel dark.

* fix(scripts): refuse to grab the panel while the display service has it

The module docstring already said to stop ledmatrix first. Nothing enforced
it, and running the script against a live service is not a harmless mistake:
rpi-rgb-led-matrix configures GPIO directions and the hardware PWM inside
RGBMatrix(), and when the root check fails it calls exit() from C with no
cleanup. The service keeps rendering and swapping onto pins that have been
reconfigured underneath it, so the panel goes black while every diagnostic
says the display is healthy -- fresh framebuffer, every pixel lit, "RGB Matrix
initialized successfully", nothing in the log. A restart fixes it, once you
work out that is what happened.

Found the hard way: this is what took the panel down on the test rig, not the
change the script was written to verify.

--fallback skips the check, since it never opens the matrix. --force is there
for anyone who means it.

* chore(scripts): annotate the subprocess call the way this repo already does

Codacy fails a PR on one new issue, and bandit B404 fires on any subprocess
import. scripts/run_plugin_tests.py carries the same suppression with the same
justification -- list-form argv, no shell -- so this follows it rather than
inventing a second convention.

ChuckandClaude Sonnet 5 21825cbfbc Sports unification phases 1–2: package split, promoted methods, opt-in capabilities (#426)
* fix(fonts): resolve asset paths against the install root, not the cwd

FontManager built its catalog from cwd-relative paths ('assets/fonts'),
so any process started outside the install root — the plugin safety
harness on CI being the recurring case — found no fonts and silently
degraded every plugin to PIL's default face. Several plugins grew
per-plugin workarounds for exactly this (countdown, text-display,
tide-display in the plugins monorepo).

Catalog population now falls back to the install root derived from this
module's location when the cwd-relative path is missing; behavior when
running from the install root is unchanged. Verified: resolve_font
returns the real FreeType face from a foreign cwd, and the full unit
suites (266 tests) pass.

The existing workflow ran only the three plugin-harness suites; the
skin-system, font-manager, data-source, extractor, scroll-helper,
adaptive-layout, and loader-compat suites (266 tests) existed but never
ran in CI, so a refactor of src/base_classes or src/common could regress
them silently. Also enrolls the new sports characterization and
element-style suites landing in this branch.

* feat: ship src/element_style — the per-element style resolver plugins already expect

Three plugins (of-the-day, ledmatrix-music, football-scoreboard) import
src.element_style behind guarded try/except with classic fallbacks, but
the module never existed in core, so the richer per-element styling UI
those code paths implement has been dormant. This lands it:

- ElementStyleResolver.style() resolves per-element font/size/color with
  the key semantic the consumers encode: a config value counts as
  user-forced only when it differs from the schema default (the web UI
  bakes defaults into config.json on save), and untouched configs
  resolve to exactly the caller's classic values — byte-identical
  rendering, proven by of-the-day's committed goldens passing unchanged.
- defaults_from_schema_file parses both declaration forms (the compact
  x-style-elements map and hand-written customization blocks).
- expand_style_elements() expands x-style-elements into full config
  blocks; schema_manager.load_schema() applies it (guarded, no-op for
  schemas without the declaration) so the config form and defaults
  merging see the expanded UI.
- Fonts resolve cwd-independently with (path, size) caching; .bdf loads
  via freetype like FontManager; nothing in the module raises out of
  style().

Verified: 31 new unit tests; of-the-day's previously-skipped 9-test
spec suite now runs and passes; football's resolver tests pass (27);
music's 38 plugin tests pass; schema-manager suites pass (43).

* test: characterization suite for src/base_classes/sports.py ahead of unification

Pins current behavior before the planned merge of the nine drifted
plugin copies back into this ancestor: the _extract_game_details_common
key contract per sport (reusing GUARANTEED_KEYS from the skin tests),
update() flows for upcoming/recent/live against cache-seeded fixtures
under frozen time, rendering smoke per mode class, and guard rails on
the skin-system seam.

Five surprising behaviors are pinned AS-IS and flagged in comments so
the merge changes them knowingly or not at all: is_upcoming also
matching status.type.name; hockey dropping events whose competitors
lack 'statistics'; baseball reading the event-level status for innings;
no past-date filter in upcoming; and favorites-only mode with an empty
favorites list showing nothing.

* refactor(sports): convert sports.py into a package (pure move)

Phase B1a of docs/SPORTS_UNIFICATION.md. src/base_classes/sports.py
becomes a package so the upcoming capability modules have a home and
diffs show their blast radius:

  sports/__init__.py   re-exports the public API
  sports/core.py       SportsCore
  sports/modes.py      SportsUpcoming / SportsRecent / SportsLive

No logic change: the 1515 class-body lines are byte-identical to the
original (verified by concatenating the two modules and diffing against
HEAD). Only module docstrings and the redistributed import blocks are
new. MRO and __abstractmethods__ are unchanged, and every existing
import site — including 'from src.base_classes.sports import SportsCore'
in the sport subclasses, the skin tests, and the characterization
suite — resolves through the package __init__.

One test edit was required: the characterization suite monkeypatched
'src.base_classes.sports.get_background_service', which is no longer a
module attribute on a package. Retargeted to
'src.base_classes.sports.core.get_background_service' — the module whose
globals SportsCore.__init__ actually resolves, so the patch is effective
exactly as before. No test logic or assertion changed.

Also adds docs/SPORTS_UNIFICATION.md: the architecture for the whole
B1-B5 sequence — how upgradability (guarded imports, capability probing,
frozen view-model keys, the sunset rule), reusability (promote only what
all nine copies share), and modularity (capabilities as opt-in mixins
rather than config branches, variants as named strategies, sport-unique
code as declared override points) are kept as three separate mechanisms.

Verified: characterization + skin 94 passed; the 10-file unit suite 338
passed; test/plugins 60 passed — all identical to pre-change counts.

* feat(sports): promote the nine universal methods into the base classes

Phase B1b of docs/SPORTS_UNIFICATION.md. Every method here is present in
all nine bundled plugin sports.py copies and absent from core, so this is
reuse of code the fleet already agreed on — not new behavior. The
promotions are inert until B5: the plugins' own overrides still run.

SportsCore: cleanup, _get_layout_offset, _load_custom_font_from_element_config
SportsUpcoming: _select_games_for_display
SportsRecent: _get_zero_clock_duration, _clear_zero_clock_tracking,
              _select_recent_games_for_display
SportsLive: _is_game_really_over, _detect_stale_games

Where the copies disagreed, the canonical form was chosen on evidence and
the genuine per-sport differences became seams rather than branches:

- _favorite_key(game, side) -- NRL matches favorites on team id because its
  abbreviations are ambiguous (NEW is both Newcastle Knights and New
  Zealand Warriors). Default is the abbreviation; NRL overrides. Core never
  learns the string nrl.
- FINAL_PERIOD / CLOCK_COUNTS_DOWN -- hockey ends in P3, and soccer/afl/nrl
  clocks count UP, so 0:00 means kickoff, not expiry.
- _config_schema_path() / _font_root() -- plugin-supplied locations, never
  derived from this module's __file__.

BEHAVIOR CHANGE (baseball, ufc): the rejected variant coerced a missing or
non-str clock to the literal 0:00 and then declared the game over at
period >= 4. MLB has no game clock and period is the inning, so live games
were being evicted from the 5th inning onward; UFC likewise. The promoted
variant skips the clock check when the clock is unusable -- it fails safe
(keeps showing the game) instead of failing destructive.

Also fixes a regression from the package move in e591cec: the bodies were
byte-identical but __file__ gained a directory, so _resolve_project_path's
parents[2] silently began resolving to <root>/src instead of the repo root.
Both it and _font_root now derive from a single _INSTALL_ROOT constant, so
a future move needs one line changed rather than two hand-counted depths.
Tests assert the resolved values, not the index.

The font loader takes baseball's body (BDF memo cache + native-strike
retry) under hockey's Optional signature -- the older lineage is the
correct one here, and basketball's positional str default breaks on an
explicit None. It resolves through _font_root rather than the cwd, so it
does not reintroduce the bug just fixed for FontManager, and delegates to
FontManager for the alias table and BDF header parse instead of shipping
second copies. cleanup gained the two new font caches and still leaves
background_service alone -- it is a process-wide singleton.

Verified: 111 new tests (48 core + 59 modes + 4 install-root regression);
characterization + skin suites still exactly 94, unchanged.

* fix(sports): stop dropping hockey and baseball events on optional feed keys

Both bugs were pinned AS-IS by the B0 characterization suite so this
phase could change them knowingly. Both fixes are adoptions of code the
corresponding plugins already ship, not new inventions.

Hockey: the extractor read competitor["statistics"] unguarded, so a
competitor arriving without that array raised KeyError inside the
generator and the WHOLE event was discarded -- valid scores and status
included. Shot/save counts now default to 0, which is already what the
suite expects for an empty statistics array.

Baseball: for live games the extractor read game_event["status"], the
event TOP-LEVEL status, to get the inning. Real ESPN events duplicate
status there, but MiLB events (synthesized from the MLB Stats API into
an ESPN-like shape) populate only the competition-level one, so the
lookup raised a bare KeyError and dropped the event. It now reads the
competition-level status that _extract_game_details_common has already
validated, so it cannot be missing at that point.

The two characterization tests that pinned the old behaviour are
rewritten to assert the fix rather than deleted, so the suite still
documents the edge case -- and still totals 94.

CHANGELOG records these plus the live-clock change from aaabc61 under
Changed/Fixed, since all three are user-visible. The two new promotion
suites join the CI unit job (449 tests).

Verified: unit job 449 passed, plugin-safety job 60 passed, and the
hockey (16) and baseball (24) plugin harnesses render clean at every
panel size.

* fix(sports): harden the live game-over check and font/log init

Follow-up review findings on the promoted base-class methods.

_is_game_really_over:
- `period` present-but-None raised TypeError on `None >= FINAL_PERIOD`,
  taking down the whole live-update pass (_detect_stale_games has no
  try/except). Same failure shape as the null `period_text` already fixed.
- An expired clock spelled "00:00" normalizes to "0000", which matched
  none of the hand-listed literals, so a finished game with a two-digit
  minute clock stayed on the scoreboard forever. Compare numerically.

SportsCore:
- _load_fonts kept the cwd-relative "assets/fonts/..." literals the
  _font_root() seam exists to remove, so every scoreboard font degraded
  to PIL's default face outside the install root.
- _should_log read self._last_warning_time unguarded while only an
  unrelated method initialized it lazily; the first warning of a run
  raised AttributeError. Initialize it in __init__.

Also documents that game_update_timestamps is written by subclasses, not
by the base class, so the staleness branch is inert until B5 adoption.

14 new tests. Gates: 463 core unit, 60 plugin safety.

* feat(sports): opt-in celebration and rotation capabilities

Phase B2 of the sports unification. Both features exist in only some of
the nine scoreboards, so they ship as capabilities the plugin composes,
never as `if self.<feature>_enabled` branches inside the base classes: a
sport that does not opt in has none of this code in its MRO.

CelebrationMixin (afl, nrl, soccer, football)
The two lineages spelled this differently -- _check_for_goal /
celebrate_opponent_goals vs _check_for_score / celebrate_opponent_scores
-- but the bodies were identical apart from three things, each now a
seam rather than a branch:
  - wording -> score_phrase() / win_phrase() hooks
  - follow-up suppression -> COALESCE_SCORING_SEQUENCE, on for football
    where a touchdown lands as +6 then +1, off where two increments are
    two real goals
  - team identity -> _favorite_key, so nrl matches on team id without
    core learning why its abbreviations are ambiguous
Both config spellings are read, so a plugin adopting the mixin keeps
working with the keys already in its published schema.

Rotation strategies
The three "dialects" turned out to be one algorithm (SWRR) in two
shapes: an incremental picker holding state across calls, and a
precomputed per-cycle list. They agree within a cycle and differ only at
the boundary, so core ships both behind a name registry rather than
declaring a winner. weight_for is supplied by the host, so rotation.py
never learns what a favorite is; an unknown name degrades to "simple"
because it arrives from user config.

Each strategy is checked against a verbatim transcription of the plugin
code it replaces, over every live-game shape up to four games -- the
differential B5 will delete the bundled copies on the strength of.

185 new tests. Gates: 648 core unit, 60 plugin safety.

* feat(scroll): upstream the scroll orchestration layer; release 3.2.0

Phases B3 and B4.

B3 -- src/common/sports_scroll.py is deliberately NOT a superset of the
ten plugin scroll_display.py copies. A method-level comparison of the
eight that share a shape (f1 and ufc are genuine forks) found a sharp
split, and the module is drawn along it:

  promoted   orchestration -- get_all_vegas_content_items is identical
             in all eight; clear_all, get_scroll_info,
             get_dynamic_duration, is_complete and display_frame are
             96-100% similar
  promoted   settings -- one algorithm; the copies differ only in which
             league keys they walk, so the ladder is data
             (SCROLL_LEAGUE_KEYS) rather than a body per sport
  NOT        content -- prepare_scroll_content has 8 distinct bodies
             across 8 plugins (145 lines, 53% similar at worst) and
             _load_separator_icons 7 (6% at worst)

Same name, different job: prepare_scroll_content draws *this sport's*
game card. Merging those eight bodies would be exactly the mistake the
promotion rule exists to prevent, so the base raises NotImplementedError
rather than rendering something plausible -- a base that rendered
something would let a plugin ship a silently blank scroll.

The one behavior added over the plugin copies is native
global_config['target_fps'] support. The bundled copies hardcode ~100
FPS via scroll_delay and never consult the global target; Part A
threaded it through each copy by hand, and this makes that threading
legacy compatibility rather than the mechanism.

66 tests, including three against the real ScrollHelper rather than a
double -- a suite built entirely on MagicMock would sail straight past a
rename in the helper.

B4 -- bump src/__init__.py to 3.2.0 and close the CHANGELOG's Unreleased
section against it. This is the number the sunset rule keys on: the
first core release shipping the unified sports library, and therefore
the floor a plugin sets ledmatrix_min_version to before deleting its
bundled copies. The version bump and the changelog release heading move
together on purpose -- separating them would leave a commit whose
changelog announces 3.2.0 while the code still reports 3.1.0.

Nothing here changes what an existing plugin loads; adoption is B5.

Gates: 714 core unit, 66 plugin safety.

* fix(sports): per-type warning cooldowns and font-load logging

Follow-ups from the second review pass, both on already-fixed findings:

_should_log accepted a warning_type and ignored it, sharing one
timestamp across every kind of warning -- so an API-error warning
silenced an unrelated cache warning for the next minute, and whichever
fired first won. Cooldowns are now keyed by type. Nothing in core calls
this method, so no behavior regressed; _last_warning_time is kept in
step for subclasses that read it directly.

_load_fonts logged through the module-level logger, dropping the manager
context, and had no return type hint. It now uses self.logger (set well
before _load_fonts runs) and names the directory it searched -- the bare
"Fonts not found" sent people hunting for a font-format problem when the
actual cause is an install missing assets/fonts.

Gates: 717 core unit, 66 plugin safety.

* docs: record the validated hockey scroll-display pilot for B5

B5 cannot ship until this PR merges and 3.2.0 exists -- a plugin cannot
floor ledmatrix_min_version at a release that does not exist, and an
unguarded src.common.sports_scroll import would break every user on
3.1.0.

The pilot has been validated ahead of that gate: hockey's
scroll_display.py adopted against a core carrying 3.2.0 goes from 691 to
289 lines with all 16 harness renders byte-for-byte identical.

* fix(sports): harden the B2/B3 capabilities against bad config and subclasses

Review pass on the phase B2-B4 changes. Every fix here is the same shape
as the crashes this PR already fixed in the hockey and baseball
extractors: a config or feed value that is present-but-wrong reaching
arithmetic or a comparison on a path with no guard.

celebrations:
- celebration_duration is coerced and floored at init. It is compared
  numerically in display() *outside* any try block, so a string from a
  hand-edited config propagated a TypeError straight out; zero or
  negative armed a celebration that could never render.
- A render failure now disarms instead of staying armed. It previously
  retried the same broken render on every frame for the rest of the
  window -- a traceback per frame, and no scorebug either.
- prune_score_baselines() for the live set. Only _check_for_win removed
  entries, so a game that left the live list any other way leaked its
  baseline and the dict grew all season.
- display() reuses has_active_celebration() rather than repeating its
  window comparison, and log lines carry a [Celebrations] prefix.

rotation:
- MAX_WEIGHT ceiling. A cycle is sum(weights) long and each step scans
  every game, so an unbounded weight from a misread config spins the
  display thread -- on a Pi that stalls rendering outright.
- register_rotation_strategy rejects a non-subclass factory at
  registration instead of failing frames later inside schedule().
- schedule() previews through type(self), so a subclass overriding
  next_game is previewed with its own ordering -- which is what the
  method promises.

sports_scroll:
- scroll_speed / scroll_delay coerced. dict.get(key, default) only helps
  when the key is absent; present-but-null reached the multiplication
  inside __init__ and the display failed to construct at all.
- update_scroll_position and get_visible_portion moved inside the try.
  They ran outside it, so a raise there reached the plugin's frame loop
  despite the comment promising none can.
- prepare_and_display guards the subclass call, so one sport's bad
  payload cannot take down the shared orchestration for the others.
- _current_game_type spells "nothing active" as "" in both classes; the
  manager said None while the display said "".

Not taken: the report that baseball's favorite-team debug path still
reads event-level status. Verified against current code -- there are no
remaining game_event["status"] reads in that file; it was fixed in
2486bdb and the finding is stale.

Gates: 747 core unit, 66 plugin safety.

* fix(baseball): don't drop favourite MiLB games on the diagnostic path

The competition-level status fallback fixed the inning lookup, but the
favourite-team debug block a few lines above still read the event top-level
game_event["status"]. MiLB events (synthesized from the MLB Stats API into an
ESPN-like shape) populate only the competition-level status, so the identical
event that extracted fine for a non-favourite raised KeyError and returned
None once the team was a favourite.

Worst possible shape for the bug: it only hit the games the user cared most
about, and only on the path meant to help diagnose them. The existing
regression test missed it because it never passes favourites, so
is_favorite_game was False and the block never ran.

Uses the validated competition-level `status`, which
_extract_game_details_common guarantees is present by that point. Adds a
favourites-passing companion test; confirmed it reproduces the KeyError
without the fix.

* docs(sports): type-hint game_update_timestamps to match its sibling

Addresses the last remaining sub-point on the modes.py review thread. The
design finding itself is already handled: the base class documents that it
only reads game_update_timestamps and that a subclass's update() owns writing
"last_seen" (and afl/etc. do, so stale-game eviction works in practice). The
one concrete gap was the missing annotation -- _zero_clock_timestamps is typed
Dict[str, float] while this nested map had none. Now Dict[str, Dict[str, float]].

* Address CodeRabbit review: font-name traversal + offline test guard

Two Minor findings from CodeRabbit's first review of this PR.

- resolve_font_path: reject relative font names carrying path components.
  font_name comes from plugin config, which the web UI writes; a value like
  "../../config/config.json" escaped assets/fonts/ after os.path.join and let
  a config probe arbitrary paths for existence (disclosure unlikely, since
  Pillow/freetype reject non-font files, but the probe is real). Relative
  names must now be bare filenames (os.path.basename(name) == name); absolute
  paths keep their existing isfile() gate. Test confirms the traversal
  resolved the real config.json before the guard.

- build_manager fixture: patch requests.Session.get BEFORE constructing the
  manager. Construction creates both SportsCore.session and the
  ESPNDataSource.session; the old code only replaced manager.session after
  the fact, leaving data_source.session real and able to reach the network on
  an accidental fetch. Patching the class makes every session built in the
  fixture offline.

* test(celebrations): make the expiry tests actually test expiry

CodeRabbit (Major) on the merge re-review: celebration_duration is clamped to
a 1.0s floor, so the two expiry tests that configured 0 and expected instant
expiration never actually hit the expiry branch. They passed only because
_draw_celebration_layout raises in the harness (no real fonts) and its
exception branch clears the celebration the same way -- so they were really
re-testing the render-failure path, not expiry.

Now use a valid 1s duration, backdate started_at past the window, and mock
_draw_celebration_layout with assert_not_called() so an expired celebration
provably does NOT render. Verified discriminating: both fail if
has_active_celebration is forced to never expire.

Production code unchanged -- the expiry logic was already correct; only the
tests were mismodelling it.
